Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
I think the two perfect ingredients you need in story is character and structure. I don't care how pretty it will look when it gets made, I rather care about who the story is happening to!
Next is structure - sure there can be a lot of cool stuff happening but if it doesn't happen at the right pace or at the right time you're going to lose your audience!
Right now I'm particularly interested in drama with thriller aspects and dark comedy. That being said any female driven story will have my attention. I usually skew toward more streaming based content, or anything genre bending i.e. a half hour drama with moments of levity. I also love a good Y/A story.
Multicam comedies, nonfiction, hard comedy.
Sarah is currently the showrunner's assistant on TULSA KING. This job allows her the unique opportunity of sitting in the writers room as pitches, outlines, and scripts are created in real time.
Previously, Sarah worked at Management/Production company 3 Arts Entertainment where she worked for both talent and lit managers. There, she had access to professional scripts which she was responsible for giving notes on. When need be she would also give feedback on pitches.
Before Sarah entered the world of entertainment she was a ghostwriter's assistant where she helped adapt interviews into chapters. She completed two memoirs during her time there.
In her free time she writes pilots (with a heavier skew towards one hour drama) and is currently working on a mystery novel.
